Remember when MSN Messenger ruled the social media world?Back in the day, it had everything a person could want.From the chatbox to status updates to a video calling feature that was far ahead of its time.
There were even some interesting ways to get someone’s attention, such as the all-powerful ‘Nudge’ button, which would literally shake your entire screen (we’re all guilty of using those), and who can forget those interesting winks.Those were the good old days!
That brings to mind the evolution of emojis and how their use has become an essential part of our daily lives.They have almost completely replaced the textual response because they are completely capable of conveying the message loud and clear even when used independently.
Leading brands are also using emojis to communicate with their existing or potential customers, while maintaining a tone that is easily understood by the current generation.

We’ll also look at the most popular emojis used by them and their customers, as well as the general opinion surrounding this trend.
